Re: Reaching out beyond text MUDs

Although it isn't live here yet, this change in Vista telnet was the main reason I added a field for "URL to client" in the new MUD database ... so they can quickly check out a MUD using that when telnet itself doesn't work.

If nothing else, most MUDs should be able to put up a simple JTA based client as a telnet replacement. I still have long term hopes for Ajax ... but implementations I've seen done with it so far are very slow and jump through a lot of hoops to emulate a telnet connection.
